1-1 Historical Georgians

The Georgian is the only style where I can show some very, old, surviving examples.

I can't give you a date for this large, stone Georgian. It is located not far from the St. Lawrence River on one of Canada's oldest roads leading out from Quebec City. Note the exceedingly steep gable roof needed to keep the snow off





In 1797 a New Hampshire farmer moved to Bath, Ontario (west of Kingston) and built this house. Today it's a museum.










It's called the 'Battlefield House' in Stoney Creek.
On 06 June 1813 an American army was camped beside this Georgian home. From this position a smaller British army swept down the hill at night, captured all the American officers and drove off the invaders.








This 1800 Georgian, residing along the Niagara Parkway to the north of Niagara-on-the-Lake, had also been seized by American forces in the same war. Although damaged by the enemy, it was rebuilt and is now a museum.
